Publishing costs

>From a publisher's perspective, there is no doubt that many open access
supporters indulge in wishful thinking when it comes to estimating the
continuing cost of providing access to online content.

I doubt that discussions in this group will clarify the matter.
Speculation by some OA proponents appears to be based more on uninformed
assumptions than any specific, detailed knowledge of the publishing
process. And publishers' warnings are too easily dismissed as expressions
of self-interest or resistance to change.

Nonetheless, the group has generated intriguing and useful ideas that
ultimately may help reduce the cost of content production and access.
